Istorinėse Vilniaus Bernardinų kapinėse paminklai su angelų skulptūromis yra įrašyti į kultūros paveldo registrą kaip objektai, sudarantys Bernardinų kapinių kompleksą. Pagrindinis šio tyrimo tikslas yra sukaupti medžiagą ir papildyti turimas žinias apie angelų skulptūras istorinėse Bernardinų kapinėse, jų restauravimo patirtį. Šiame tyrime apžvelgtos, įvertintos ir aprašytos Vilniaus Bernardinų kapinėse antkapius puošiančios angelų skulptūrų medžiagos, esama fizinė būklė bei skulptūrų tvarkybos poreikiai, teikiami siūlymai. Parašomos turimos žinios apie palaidotus asmenis. Pirmame šio darbo skyriuje trumpai apžvelgiama Bernardinų kapinių istorija, restauravimo patirtis. Antrame skyriuje dėmesys koncentruojamas į antkapiniuose paminkluose vaizduojamų angelų skulptūrų paveldosauginį ir paveldotvarkinį aspektą. Trečiajame skyriuje rašomos trumpos išvados apie fizinę paminklų būklę ir restauravimo ar konservavimo poreikį, menininis vertinimas mano, kaip restauratorės, požiūriu. Nors didžioji dalis skulptūrų yra geros būklės ir yra atlikti atskirų objektų restauravimo darbai, visoms reikalinga priežiūra ar tolesnis konservavimas. Manytina, kad šis tyrimas galėtų būti naudingas restauratoriams, studentams, ketinantiems praktikuotis restauravimo srityje, dirbant prie antkapinių paminklų. / Tombstones with angelic figures of historic Bernardinai cemetery in Vilnius are entered into the list of cultural heritage, as objects of Bernardinai cemetery ensemble. The primary aim of this study is to collect data and to add to the existing knowledge about angelic sculptures and their restoration experience in the historic Bernardinai cemetery. This study involves reviews of angelic sculptures decorating tombstones of Bernardinai cemetery, review of their physical condition and restoration requirements, suggestions. First chapter of the study consist of a short review of the history of Bernardinai cemetery and its restoration experience. The second chapter concentrates on heritage protection and restoration aspect of the angelic sculptures in tombstones. Third chapter consists of short findings about the physical condition of tombstones and need of their restoration or conservation, also their artistic evaluation by me, as a restaurateur. Although most of the sculptures are in good condition and the required restoration works for some of them are done, all of them need further inspection or conservation. This study could be useful to restaurateurs, students who are planning to practice restoration or work with tombstone monuments.

The objective of this thesis is to enhance the archaeological visibility of mobile pastoralists in the southern Levant, accomplished through an ethnoarchaeological study of Bedouin mortuary practices in Jordan. Qualitative data, collected via 136 ethnographic interviews, and quantitative data, collected from 20 Bedouin cemeteries, are analyzed to distinguish the material residues of Bedouin funerary practices. Patterns in these data are investigated using a multi-scalar spatial model, to improve archaeological interpretations and produce a predictive model for locating the material signatures of mobile pastoralist mortuary practices in the southern Levant. This research yields results of high archaeological visibility, demonstrating that Bedouin mortuary practices leave behind a detectable material signature on the landscape. / February 2017

The main subject of the thesis was to create epigraphic catalogue of th e Jewish cemetery in Kožlany, as one of the basis to the further knowledge of the Jewish settlement of studied region.

The second part provides a summary of documentation and the third part presents evaluation of the data obtained, which is based on the epigraphic catalogue. The final part of the thes is is devoted to the history of selected Jewish families, whose members were buried at the cemetery in Kožlany.

In contemporary North America, death is often responded to by means of geographical and social separation. Formally removed from the everyday lifeworld and boundaries of home and community, the cemetery landscape has depreciated greatly in its cultural significance and visible taking care. As changing death practices and perceptions towards mortality look to reintegrate the dead back into the living community, traditional ways of locating, memorializing and ritualizing the dead no longer reflect or express the meaning of death held by modern cultural ideals. This research looks to investigate how landscape architecture may re-imagine the cemetery landscape providing newfound cultural significance and presence within the modern everyday lifeworld. In the City of Brandon, Manitoba, the limited interment capacity of the current Municipal cemetery has established a need for expanded cemetery space. This practicum proposes rather, to relocate the cemetery within a place of meaningful significance to the community of Brandon. The design responds to the shifting ideals, and patterns of disposal and ritualization emerging within present western society. / May 2016

Chronologically I have described the different environments that I have been exposed to in the past five years and how my interactions with the different locations have affected my work. I started writing about what I was doing a year after finishing my undergraduate degree, when I started to feel as though I needed to re-invent my work in a way that also meant trying to see the process of creating art differently. I didn't know yet how this new work would begin to generate, or what would inspire it, but I knew that I was seeking a studio practice that would be personal enough to sustain a lifetime of exploration. In the end I found the inspiration had always been all around me.

This dissertation is focused on changes in burial culture in the modern and post-modern era resulting from the introduction of cremation as a new part of burial practices in Western countries. Its aim is to analyze changes in burial culture in the context of social and political developments and through their physical effects on the landscape. In order to evaluate contemporary burial culture in the Western world, the main cause of changes in burial culture was first separately analyzed as a phenomenon that appeared (the conditions for the origins of cremation) and expanded in geographical space (the circumstances under which cremation was adapted in Western countries). The diffusion of innovations theory is used, which is capable of describing and interpreting the process of introducing cremation in its modern form. In the second phase of research, specific manifestations of changes in burial culture caused by the introduction of cremation are examined based on case studies conducted in the field. In the following part of the dissertation findings are generalized, and how the perception and function of cemeteries have changed due to the influence of changes in burial culture and how the significance of the concept of the deathscape - landscapes and places whose appearance and relationships are...

No settlement remains at Early Dynastic Memphis, the first ‘capital’ of the newly emerging Egyptian state, have yet been located. This study draws together exclusive evidence from three well-known non-elite Memphite cemeteries Saqqara-Serapeum, Turah and the recently excavated site of Helwan (all dating from 3200 to 2700 BC) to explore the society of this early urban centre through its funerary remains. The study engages in statistical analyses of cemetery data comparing grave parameters such as volume, quantity of grave goods, their materials and pottery vessel types, but also architecture, body protection, skeletal sex and the age of the deceased across sites. The application of statistical hypothesis testing techniques forms a methodological cornerstone highlighting some pitfalls of mortuary analyses rooted in Processual theoretical frameworks. As a result, a nuanced funerary culture with a significant degree of mortuary variability was revealed at each of the sites investigated. Non-elite funerary provision at Memphis was influenced by a complex web of factors such as economic potential, relationships to local elites, communal and personal identities, choice, and practicality. While mortuary differentiation by sex could not be proven statistically, evidence emerged for significant age differentiation in the funerary provision. The four communities investigated are distinct and each represent a different population within the Memphite region ranging from a main necropolis (Helwan) to a cemetery of a secondary or tertiary local centre (Turah). The smallscale regionality observed at Memphis should serve as a springboard for future research on Early Dynastic Egypt. Finally, the study has highlighted the research potential of statistical analyses to extract vital information from old data, alongside the importance of hypothesis testing in the evaluation of such analyses.

Cemeteries where the epitaphs were collected reflect the romantic mentality of the eighteenth century and the imaginary in which they live. They were born from the confluence of a number of factors that cut across social, political and mental ordering, urbanization, the application of medical and hygienic discourses; consolidation of the bourgeoisie as the ruling class , the supremacy of individualism and the hegemony of the Catholic Church . Messages analyzed reveal key elements for understanding society and the relationships that develop between men facing death and mourning and memorial function have, to the extent that they convey memories and tributes to deceased. The interpretation of these messages reveals meanings and varied meanings and its method hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur .The main focus of the research are the four cemeteries of Sao Joao del Rei / Este trabalho tem como pressuposto apresentar a importância da utilização dos epitáfios nos cemitérios de São João Del Rei para a elaboração do luto. Os cemitérios em que os epitáfios foram coletados refletem a mentalidade romântica do século XVIII e o imaginário no qual estão inseridos. Eles nasceram da confluência de uma série de fatores que perpassam a ordenação social, política e mental; a urbanização, a aplicação dos discursos médicos e higiênicos; a consolidação da burguesia como classe dirigente, a supremacia do individualismo e a hegemonia da Igreja Católica. As mensagens analisadas revelam elementos fundamentais para a compreensão da sociedade e das relações que se estabelecem entre os homens diante da morte e do luto e têm função memorial, na medida em que veiculam lembranças e homenagens aos falecidos. A interpretação destas mensagens revela significados e sentidos variados e tem como método a Hermenêutica de Paul Ricoeur. O foco principal da pesquisa são os quatro cemitérios de São João Del Rei

O enfrentamento da grande escala sobre a paisagem natural é um tema que interessa à arquitetura moderna, estabelecendo um desafio que abrange a resolução do projeto em si, bem como a capacidade de produção de território. Horacio Baliero (1927-2004), em sua obra para o Cemitério Parque de Mar del Plata, abarca essas questões de forma contundente, demonstrando os anseios do movimento moderno em estabelecer relações entre o edifício e o local de inserção, assim como a preocupação com a expansão territorial. Considerado um expoente da arquitetura moderna argentina pelos seus pares, Baliero dedicou-se simultaneamente à docência e à prática, desenvolvendo mais de 80 projetos de diversas escalas e programas. A presente dissertação apresenta uma análise aprofundada do projeto para o Cemitério Parque de Mar del Plata, com o objetivo de compreender suas possíveis influências, a composição resultante de cada elemento proposto e de que forma o projeto arquitetônico estabelece relações com a paisagem. Como contextualização para o caso central, este estudo exibe ainda um panorama da trajetória de Horacio Baliero, destacando suas obras de maior repercussão e aspectos importantes de sua carreira acadêmica e profissional. / A large-scale project on the natural landscape is a subject that concerns modern architecture, setting a challenge that includes both the resolution of the project itself and the capacity of territory production. Horacio Baliero (1927-2004), in his work for the Mar del Plata Park Cemetery, prominently covers these issues, demonstrating the willingness of the modern movement to establish relationships between the building and its insertion site, as well as its concern with the construction of territory. Considered an exponent of modern architecture in Argentina by his peers, Baliero devoted himself both to teaching and practice, developing more than 80 projects of different scales and programs. The present study presents a comprehensive analysis of the Mar del Plata Park Cemetery in order to understand its possible influences, the resulting composition of each proposed element, and how the architectural project establishes relationships with the landscape. To set background for the central case, this analysis also shows an overview of Baliero’s career, highlighting his most influential works and important aspects of his academic path and professional life.

It is however, an issue of significant importance in the sphere sanitarian, as in the environmental sphere. This study highlights the main problems that cemeteries can cause when it ignored the set of statutory federal and state levels, among which stands out the CONAMA resolution No. 335/2003, the Code of Health of Paraná Law No. 13331/SEMA 2001 and Resolution No. 002/2009. In this context, the present study had the objective was accomplished: the location and mapping of rural cemeteries Francisco Beltrão - PR; the main types of research conducted in these burial cemeteries; risk assessment of environmental contamination in the areas of direct and indirect influence of these developments; conduct the survey and systematization of corrective and preventive measures for areas where irregularities are diagnosed in cemeteries. Several methodological procedures, among which stand out were used to conduct this work: the identification and mapping of existing cemeteries in the rural area of the city of Francisco Beltrão - PR; the application of questionnaires to representatives of communities that have cemetery and interviews with representatives of government agencies responsible for licensing and environmental sanitation sector in the city. In Fieldwork was possible to collect water from fifteen points and mount a database on aspects of the use and distribution of natural elements within and in the neighborhood of cemeteries. As a result we identified 51 municipal cemeteries located in a rural area, of which 95% are held and managed by the community itself without assistance from the government. All cemeteries higher risk of environmental contamination, however, the degree of environmental impact varies with the concurrence of non-conformities in the practice of burials and maintenance of these cemeteries. Through the study concluded that there is no technical support by the Municipality and the emerging need of conducting clarification and training process in communities, especially those residents who become responsible for the daily practices implemented under the cemeteries. We underline the statement at work inserting environmental education activities in order to prevent and, if possible, to minimize the negative impacts of cemeteries. / A discussão dos problemas vinculados ao risco de contaminação propiciado pelos cemitérios tem sido restrita a uma parcela relativamente pequena da sociedade. Trata-se porém, de um tema de significativa importância tanto na esfera sanitarista, quanto na esfera ambiental. Esse estudo destaca os principais problemas que os cemitérios podem causar quando é ignorado o conjunto de normas legais de âmbito federal e estadual, dentre as quais destaca-se a Resolução do Conama nº 335/ 2003, o Código de Saúde do Paraná Lei nº 13331/ 2001 e a Resolução SEMA nº 002/2009. Neste contexto, foi realizada a presente pesquisa que teve como objetivos: a localização e mapeamento dos cemitérios da zona rural de Francisco Beltrão PR; pesquisas dos principais tipos de sepultamento realizadas nestes cemitérios; avaliação dos riscos de contaminação socioambientais das áreas de influência direta e indireta destes empreendimentos; realizar o levantamento e a sistematização de medidas corretivas e preventivas para as áreas nas quais sejam diagnosticadas irregularidades nos cemitérios. Para a realização desse trabalho, foram utilizadas vários procedimentos metodológicos, dentre os quais destacam-se: a identificação e mapeamento dos cemitérios existentes no perímetro rural da cidade de Francisco Beltrão PR; a aplicação de questionários aos representantes das comunidades que possuem cemitério e entrevistas com os representantes de órgãos públicos responsáveis pelo setor de licenciamento e saneamento ambiental na cidade. Em trabalho de campo foi possível coletar água de quinze pontos e montar um banco de dados sobre os aspectos de uso e distribuição dos elementos naturais no interior e na circunvizinhança dos cemitérios. Como resultado identificou-se 51 cemitérios localizados no perímetro rural municipal, dos quais 95% são mantidos e geridos pela própria comunidade sem auxílio do poder público. Todos os cemitérios apresentam riscos de contaminação ambiental, entretanto, o grau de impacto ambiental varia de acordo com a concomitância de inconformidades nas práticas de sepultamentos e de manutenção destes cemitérios. Por meio do estudo realizado concluímos a inexistência de suporte técnico por parte da Prefeitura Municipal e a necessidade emergente da realização de processo de esclarecimento e formação nas comunidades, sobretudo, daqueles moradores que tornam-se responsáveis pelas práticas cotidianas executadas no âmbito dos cemitérios. Salientamos a indicação no trabalho da inserção de atividades de educação ambiental com o intuito de prevenir e, se possível, minimizar os impactos causados pelos cemitérios.
